How to Justify Text in HTML

Most websites have text that is left justified. If you look at the left side of the text you will find the words are in a straight line going down the page. The right side of the text, however, is often uneven, which is not aesthetically pleasing in some website designs. To create an even line of text on the right side of the page you need to justify the text in HTML.
